Ramsay "Llewelyn" Ives Nares MBE (1889-1968)

Born 19th July 1889 at Millbrook, near
Southampton, he was the eldest son of Ramsay
Nares. Educated at Marlborough School. He served in the
Royal Fusiliers during the Great War, fought at Galipoli, was mentioned in
despatches twice and was awarded the MBE. After the war he became
a solicitor and was a partner of Messrs Francis and Crookenden. During
the general strike of 1926 he acted as a Special Constable and served in the
Home Guard during WW2.

(He was
the person responsible for researching a lot of the family's history, an
interest that was shared with his son Gordon, and it has been largely from the
records that he accrued that I have built up this site - ON)
